Profiles In Leadership - Taking The Right Steps

• The Culture : The values, norms, and systems leaders established or reinforced. • The Mission : How leaders advance the organization’s purpose and vision.

Legacy is not created in a single moment—it results from

consistent actions and decisions over time.

Measuring Leadership Success Through Legacy

Leadership success is not measured by personal gain or recognition but by the impact left behind. Leaders who focus on their legacy ask themselves:

• Did I make a positive difference in people’s lives?

• Did I build systems and structures that will sustain success?

• Did I stay true to my values and the mission?

• Did I empower others to carry the torch forward?

Leaders who measure success through the lens of legacy prioritize their organizations’ long-term health and growth over short-term wins or individual accolades.
